Sheet metal processing


The rapid development of the sheet metal processing industry has also driven the progress of the sheet metal equipment industry. The equipment has evolved from the original punching, shearing, and folding to the current CNC punching machines, CNC bending, and so on
With the rise of the laser cutting machine industry, the introduction of laser cutting technology in the sheet metal processing industry has enabled the rapid development of the sheet metal industry, fully demonstrating the flexible production ability, process design ability, and precision machining manufacturing ability of laser cutting, which can meet the processing requirements of multiple varieties, multiple batches, small batches, non-standard and high-precision.
In the past, the cost of a single equipment shell mold was usually as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Although opening a mold or some simple molds can complete complex mechanical parts such as equipment shells, and the large-scale processing cycle is only about ten days, the research and development and production of molds take several months and require repeated mold repairs, with poor accuracy. Nowadays, it is an era of informatization, with fast product updates and small batch production becoming the mainstream mode of sheet metal processing. In this mode, the application of laser cutting machines greatly saves the cost of mold opening and secondary processing, shortens the production cycle, which cannot be achieved by other hardware processing and mold stamping. It is reported that after the introduction of laser cutting machines, the sheet metal industry has saved tens of billions of yuan in funds annually for the sheet metal processing industry.
